I have been asked several times why isn’t Mexico doing anything…
Here is how the chamber of commerce president of Acuña explained it to me: No one going through Mexico has ANY intention of staying— Migrants are just passing through… 1/3

2/3… The Mexican government is angry that all of this falls on them because people are in pursuit of the American Dream. The chamber of commerce president of Acuña tells me at one point, the city had thousands of people in a park after the U.S. closed the crossing…
3/3… He tells me when migrants hoping to get into the U.S. learned they faced deportation— 3,000+ migrants, mostly Haitians streamed into the city and took shelter in homes, disrupting Acuña for days because they wanted to get across and thought they could wait it out. #DelRio
4/3: With the International Bridge closed per the US government — The chamber president says the city of Acuña suffered more than $500,000 in losses/day as people could not cross.
I asked abt the economic impact to #DelRio —there may have been a small one, but nothing major yet
